Won't power on

I flashed my Sensation about 2 weeks ago and started using 3.5 Mix by RCMix team.. It worked great but now all of a sudden, the phone won't turn on... I tried the taping/isolation method.. I tried splicing a USB cable... nothing... hoping it's just a battery problem.. also tried a Vmeter but the Vmeter was broken... this really sucks if ANYONE can help me out I'm all ears haha. I'd like to hope it is only a battery problem because I don't think I could have possibly fried my motherboard or anything.. but you never know. Might go to a T-mo store today to see if any of them have a Sensation battery I could plug in.

UPDATE: Went to T-Mo store.. didn't tell em I was rooted... they thought it was a problem with the phone and sent out a replacement. They tried charging my battery in a store version of the Sensation too. Lucky for me the battery got enough of a charge so when I plugged it in my phone later, the screen flickered on and went back off. Now that I know that it IS a problem with Revolutionary and not the actual hardware, I'm gonna receive the replacement, charge the battery in there until it is full, then put it back in my old Sensation and send the replacement back. So if anyone is still having problems, I advise going this route.. haha
[HTC Sensation] steelclaw:
Thought my sensation was bricked because the computer coudn't indentify the device and the led wasn't flashing ! But this guide revived my sensation thanks very much !

hmmm

Well.. I can jump my battery using a 4.5v power supply. I left it for about 30 mins and i was able to boot into android as it had about 20% life now.

But i think my problem is hardware related as even with android running i cant charge it or use usb file transfer.

I have tried much newer versions of cloclworkmod recovery and now using 4ext recovery ( which i have been using since feb anyways) with no change. I cant charge it with the phone off or with the phone running. no light, no charge icon, nothing.

I have used 5 different cables, 2 AC adapters, 1 car charger, 2 computers, :S

I have tried all 3 known good batterys to my avail

I cleaned the contacts on the micro-usb connectoR

This could all be related to when i flashed a new radio firmware. I did this on July 4th, and have been having weird battery issues ever since until july 25th it would just not charge at all. I did not notice it to much at first but the radio firmware i did on the 4th is the only recent change i have done besides CM9 nightlies which never seem to have any issues, and i have done about 4 nightlies since the noticeable battery drain so it cant be a specific nightly rom.

Is it possible that a radio firmware update could mess with the charging circuitry?

I need to bump charge this battery longer so fastboot will let me update the radio. at the moment it says my batt is too low and wont let me do it
[HTC Sensation] dreamife:
Very nice guide

This will be really helpfull if I don't have my battery charger at hand and got only USB cable
[HTC Sensation] expo1122:
Well i ended up getting an external charger off of craigslist for 12$. This will work for now seeing as i have two betteries. Im pretty sure the charging IC is fried, or the solder on the micro usb slot is broken.

I tried downgrading to my old radio firmware and no change, also tried a different rom, boot loader, recovery version etc.

:(
[HTC Sensation] EddyOS:
OK, weird one...

I'm S-OFF, running my own ROM and all going nicely. Thought I'd push a new hosts file to the ROM to make it ad-free and I get an error saying it's read-only. Surely with S-OFF this isn't the case?

I DID flash the ENG S-OFF HBOOT (more to get rid of the pink banner on the Revolutionary one) - could this be part of the issue?

I was using 'adb push' to push the hosts file, btw
[HTC Sensation] flipmatthew:
Run the batch file in easyfr3vo once. This should make the data and system rw and chmod 777. Permanently since you have prenatal root
[HTC Sensation] flipmatthew:
Also, did you patch the Rom with the superuser patch through recovery
[HTC Sensation] EddyOS:
I made my own ROM using dsixda's kitchen so SU is already in it. It all works fine except being RW when booted
[HTC Sensation] hawkml:
Yesterday I tried the LCD density change and it broke my Sense launcher. I had the same problem trying to push a modified build.prop to /system/. I ended up pushing the file to the SD card and then:

adb shell
$ su
# mount -o remount,rw -t yaffs2 /dev/block/mtdblock3 /system
# cp /sdcard/build.prop /system/

You could do the same thing with the hosts file.
[HTC Sensation] Noktrnl:
I had this problem too after reverting to a fresh stock, s-on install. I ran Revo again to obtain a clean s-off, installed recovery, obtained root/SU with SD patch. After I did all that /system/ was ro,

using # mount -o remount,rw -t yaffs2 /dev/block/mtdblock3 /system

(double check your system block by doing adb shell, su, mount)

then i chmod 777 /system/ and was able to change to rw, and push files.

[General Questions and Answers] rosser725:
I need a new phone. Should I get the Thunderbolt now or wait for the Verizon Samsung Galaxy S II to come out?
[General Questions and Answers] Zorachus:
No question I would wait for the Galaxy S2 on Verizon, it will be night and day better than the outdated Thunderbolt. Dual cores, more RAM, way better screen, and I am sure will have very strong developer support
[General Questions and Answers] GaryK2:
I agree. I am in the same boat and have been waiting for some time. The only thing that would stop me is if it does not have LTE. In that case I will have to go with the Droid Bionic.
[General Questions and Answers] sweetnsour:
not to mention that the battery on the thunderbolt drains quickly
[Galaxy Tab Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] tommytorpedo:
Hi, i have a Verizon Galaxy tab. I was interested in flashing a new ROM. Does anyone know if the tab has a Sim card? and which is a good ROM? Has anyone successfully flashed a ROM where everything worked? I use my tab in the car and need 3g, gps etc. But im itching to flash a kernel and a new ROM. Anyone have any advise? looks like most of them are for GSM and not CDMA. Please Help!
[Galaxy Tab Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] addictivepixels:
The Verizon (and Sprint) SGT does not have a SIM card as they are CDMA devices.

There is a small handful of ROMs available however at first it was pain getting started flashing the CDMA SGTs I've messed with.

Personally, I like oldmacnut's ROMs.

However, I'm currently running KhasMek's kernel and the stock ROM (just until oldmacnut finishes his GB port) - Also, running LauncherPro to hide that awful touchwiz interface and Dolphin Browser HD (for better browsing) - This has made the SGT loads better for me.

My advise to anyone looking to flash ROMs (even as unlikely as it is) if you're note 100% okay with the possibility of a brick, then don't flash. Personally, I've never encountered a bad flash I couldn't recover, but your milage may vary.
[Galaxy Tab Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] tommytorpedo:
Thanks Addictive,

I am also waiting for stable GB roms for my VZ Tab. But I need to flash a nice kernel and a ROM. Even though the rooted tab runs nice with some tweaks......such as launcher Pro. I never used Dolphin HD. Ive always used Miren Browser since its lightweight and real quick for me BUT i will def give Dolphin a try. I might follow your footsteps and flash KhasMek's kernel and wait for Gingy. Have you noticed any significant differences as far as performance with this kernel?
[Galaxy Tab Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] addictivepixels:
The kernel is a touch buggy, but for me the performance boost was worth it. Lagfix, ext4 conversion and over clock were too good to pass up.

Using SetCPU to bump up on demand to 1.4GHz helps a bit when I push the tab (google music streaming in the background, navigation running in the background, bluetooth paired to car for audio, a friend browsing the web .... simultaneously) - Doing that stock made it angry, audio would skip and UI would lag, now its nearly perfect.

Also, I use Refresh for Android to reboot the tab automatically at 4:30 AM everyday. This alone has helped with stability/performance. Recently though, it has stopped automatically rebooting the SGT. I got the app because I was too lazy to setup a cron job to do it for me heh.
[Galaxy Tab Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] tommytorpedo:
Hmmm well I have the ext 4 conversion (using OCLF) and that definitely made it much snappier but mine is running stock as far as cpu goes. I haven't experimented with overclocking...not sure if I want to risk damaging mine. But it did spike my interest since I have the same setup and have a car mount for mine. So I stream music and goole map it along with other goodies (like trapster) and sometimes it stutters. Would be cool to see how much faster it would go. And yeah rebooting always helps lol so I might flash that kernel friday. Have you tried any other ones?

Hey guys I'm having a cwm issue I followed the instructions from a previous post pushed recovery to s.bin r/w rebooted then into recovery and reinstall packages but kept giving me installation aborted message? Now can't find recovery file I pushed please xda help! Thanks in advanced

Try flashing this with Odin, you'll have CWM without pushing the custom recovery file to /bin

[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] galaxy_man:
I had the same problem getting this to work. I tried a lot of times before I finally got it to work.

The only thing I did differently to finally get this to work was to download the files to my computer first and then transfer them to my phone. When I downloaded directly to the phone the file had a .bin extension added to it. Just deleting the .bin extension didn't work for me.
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] drpratik:

Hello all. My phone is trying to auto-update itself to GB...2.33. However, I am currently rooted...which I do not want to lose.

If the phone updates itself, is there currently any way to re-root the phone?

Thanks

- Steve
[Motorola Droid X2] chewybang:
Well, I auto updated this morning while I was rooted. The OTA update went fine but I have lost root. If anyone can figure out how I can regain root in 2.3.3, I would forever be in your debt.

Thanks!
[Motorola Droid X2] MikeJ92YJ:
I Think You Can Just SBF Back To 2.2.2 And Use P3Droid's Pre-Root. Don't Quote Me Yet.
[Motorola Droid X2] chewybang:
If anyone can verify this, I'll be on it this afternoon :)
[Motorola Droid X2] dharrington14:
That's what I did. I updated to the official gingerbread then sbf back to 2.2 and updated using p3droids pre rooted zip
[Motorola Droid X2] SwiftLegend:
Yes, it's true. You can update to 2.3, then SBF back to Froyo 2.2. Then grab P3's Pre-Root 2.3 GB update, and flash it. Follow these instructions.

Don't hold me to it, but you can probably use P3's to go straight from 2.2 to 2.3, without updating first, then SBF'ing back to Froyo. I could be wrong though, and I'm not responsible.
[Motorola Droid X2] Deleted member 4177996:
There may be an apk responsible for this. I'm not sure, but could FOTA.apk be Forced OTA? I haven't tried freezing this, but is someone willing to try?
[Motorola Droid X2] ls5454ss:
I don't think that's it.

I just froze "Updater 2.2.2" using Titanium Backup and restarted the phone...I don't see a popup anymore. Hopefully that stops the OTA until I can install it and root.

I have the phone setup just the way I want it right now...I doubt the 2.33 would make any much of a difference.
[Motorola Droid X2] Xeno62277:
Here is what you do...

.sbf back to 2.2.2

boot up and re-setup the phone (*228)

use gingerbreak to root it

install the recovery app

download p3's update.zip and place it in the root of your sdcard-ext

boot to recovery and hit the sdcard:update.zip option

There are more detailed instructions in this subforum if you look.
[Motorola Droid X2] Cheapxj:
I never let the ota install. but I did have to sbf my deodexed and deblurred 2.2 back to stock, install p3droids prerooted 2.3 then deodex and deblur it.

made a huge difference for me. text entry improvements alone are worth the hassle!
[Motorola Droid X2] ls5454ss:
What changed with text entry if you don't mind me asking?
[Motorola Droid X2] EvilTim:
You can long press letters to bring up other options instead of constantly switching keyboard modes
[Motorola Droid X2] dx2maniac:
So I guess to answer the original question there is no root without sbf back to stock and flashing the pre rooted version. correct ???
[Motorola Droid X2] EvilTim:
Correct

Edit: disregard my post please.

so if i call htc and tell them my volume rocker is loose they will send me a free one no charge and wont make me send in the old one for proof? im looking for a replacement as well.. also, if i were to do an exchange on my device would i have to unroot it and restore s on first or will that matter?thanks

As far as I know, no.

You can call motorola and ask them. They will be able to tell you.
[Atrix 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mysticdrew:
unlikely, you bought it off ebay so it's likely used, even so you've used it already since you've had it. Only way I can see if motorola can tell you since the IMEI would have been registered to another motoblur account before.

[Atrix 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] V-ctor:
I chated with motorola support yesterday. They can't help too. The only thing that thay can provide me is MSN number ohh and warranty period. These things you can find in their site by yourself.

They advise to ask all detailed information in the store where you bought the item. It's impossible for me.

So the only one way is trust to your seller ))))

[EVO 4G Accessories] viperkorn:
Personally with all my searches I have never found a high capacity battery for this phone that will use stock plate. I was wondering if the Trident electra could hold the seidio 3500 battery? Anyone know?
[EVO 4G Accessories] Sry0fcr:
Seidio and Amzer have a slim profile "extended" battery. I think the jury is still out on the usefulness of these since those battery capacity tests came out a while back showing that they offered no more capacity than stock and in some cases less.
[EVO 4G Accessories] droiddawg:
Bought the 3500 battery from Best Buy. Its an off brand, platinum something or other but it says seidio on the back of it. Just ordered the seidio innocase extended rugged off of amazon for 36 and some change.

[EVO 4G Accessories] stkiswr:
I have owned the seidio 3500 for 8 months...its a great battery. I ran it naked for about 2 months before that day I dropped it...and destroyed my screen. I replaced my screen and promptly order the rugged combo. Since I have actually dropped my phone from 4 feet on concrete/wood/pavement probably 6 times to prove how amazing it is...the seidio rugged does exactly what it says. Its very very impressive.

but all in all, this battery lasts me from 10am to 10 pm on the Mikrom, and from 10am til 12 with about 20% left on Shift Deck.

BUT TAKE IN CONSIDERATION, MOST OF THE DAY I TURNED MY DATA OFF.

ALSO, IVE ONLY USED IT FOR 2 DAYS WITHOUT CALIBRATING MY BATTERY. ONE ON SHIFT DECK AND THE OTHER ON MIKROM.
